This year's Ale & Cider Trail, the 28th Annual event, started on the 2nd of June and will finish on the 30th of September, taking in 40 Pubs around the area of the Brighton & South Downs Branch of CAMRA.

The full list of participating pubs/clubs is shown below. Collect your passport and start the trail at any one of these locations from now:

This year it commemorates the 90th Anniversary of Commercial Operations at Gatwick Airport together with the “Spitfire Dray” deliveries of beer to the Normandy Beachhead after D-Day in June 1944 using Spitfire fighter aircraft equipped with the “Mark XXX Depth Charge” under-wing fittings. There are no records of beer delivery sorties originating from Gatwick, but who knows?

Please note that, this year, there is no dedicated Cider Rider part of the Trail; Cider drinkers can participate by having a pint of Real Cider, where available, in any of the listed pubs; a Cider T-Shirt will be available as an alternative to the Trail T-shirt, as detailed in the centre pages of the Passport

There was a successful and very well attended Bus Tour on the 24th of June
